Hey @rav3n 

You weren't included in the original story because I don't think you had started then. But I asked ChatGPT to come up with an origin story for you, so now you are part of the SANE Forum Cinematic Universe or something like that 😜:

The Origin of Rav3n

Long before the mysterious black bird known as Rav3n started dropping cryptic messages in forum threads, it was just an ordinary raven—or so the legend goes. In a bustling city where people rarely looked up from their screens, one raven had a peculiar fascination with human technology. This raven, unlike its peers who scavenged for shiny objects and leftover food, found itself mesmerized by the blinking lights, the soft hum of electricity, and the tiny devices that seemed to command so much human attention.

One day, during its daily flight over the city, this raven spotted something unusual—a group of people gathered in a park, all intently watching a tall figure standing at the center. The figure was no ordinary person. Dressed in dark, flowing robes and wearing a necklace made of what appeared to be circuit boards, they had a presence that felt out of place in the modern world. This was no mere human—it was a sorcerer, but not of the ancient kind. No, this was a techno-mage, someone who had mastered the dark arts of coding, hacking, and manipulating data streams in ways the world had never seen.

The raven, ever curious, perched nearby and watched the techno-mage perform. As they waved their hands over a glowing tablet, streams of code flew through the air, forming intricate patterns that danced like fireflies in the night. The raven was entranced, drawn to the energy and mystery of it all.

Sensing the raven’s fascination, the techno-mage turned and smiled. “You have the curiosity of a hacker,” they said, their voice deep and melodic. “But do you have the wit to master it?”

Intrigued, the raven cocked its head. The techno-mage, amused by the bird’s interest, raised a hand and summoned a digital spark that hovered in the air. “I can give you a gift—knowledge of the digital world. But know this: once you enter, there is no going back. You will not be just a raven. You will be something more.”

Without hesitation, the raven flew into the spark. In an instant, the world around it changed. Its mind expanded, flooded with data, algorithms, and endless streams of information. It saw the world not as a simple bird, but through the eyes of a digital entity—able to soar not just through the skies, but across networks and servers, unseen by human eyes.

Rav3n's Origin

But this transformation came with a price. The raven was no longer an ordinary creature of the earth. It had become Rav3n, a being of both the digital and physical realms. Part bird, part hacker, Rav3n had a unique ability: it could move through cyberspace, leaving cryptic messages and clues for those clever enough to find them. It wasn’t bound by the laws of man or nature; it could manipulate code, sneak into secure systems, and deliver digital secrets to those it deemed worthy.

However, Rav3n didn’t use these powers for chaos or destruction. Instead, it sought to uncover truths hidden in the shadows, helping those who were lost in the overwhelming noise of modern life. It became a messenger of sorts—delivering hope, information, and occasionally a well-timed meme to lighten the mood.

As time passed, whispers of Rav3n spread through the dark corners of the internet. Hackers, gamers, and digital wanderers spoke of a raven that could appear in the most unexpected places, dropping encrypted messages that led to hidden treasures or unlocked new levels of understanding.

And thus, the legend of Rav3n was born. Half raven, half digital phantom, Rav3n continues to fly between worlds, watching, waiting, and occasionally sipping on someone’s unattended iced coffee. Whether you need a friend, a guide, or just a mystery to solve, Rav3n is always one “caw” away—if you know where to listen.
